Please help resolve this DOUBLE SPEND FOUND issue.

I have tried to read up more about this issue, but hardly found any solid details on this.

And also, i am getting a Transaction not found error on the same hash. https://blockchain.info/tx/45ae29351ac8572458d48b9cb70a2776c1a775a642cb9579e33d578706e834c5


PLEASE HELP!!

Nothing you can do about this. It's not simply a double spend, but it looks like multiple spend attempts within seconds of each other, all trying to spend inputs which were already spent and confirmed in another transaction, it looks like a long chain of transactions. Bitcoin can only confirm transactions with confirmed inputs. Since these can never be confirmed, the transactions are considered invalid and will be eventually dropped from the network. Bitaps still has it, apparently.

Here are some of the other txs all trying to spend the same coins, all leading back to unconfirmed preceding txs or other, I didn't bother searching far behind:

Edit: OK I got curious: this is where the double spend originates from:

@buwaytress. Thank you for shedding some light on this.

Does this mean my BTC is lost forever?

Well... it depends. Were you the sender responsible for the original double spends from 1GT5ZVv4JAikNez31Sj1V2beCufWRgcbX8?

If it was really yours and you owned this address, then your 98++ BTC were successfully confirmed in this transaction:
https://bitaps.com/dc5935cded9e51d69f35042dae20b659553504ba2e5d5babe98853a19b5f4dcd

They're now mostly sitting at this address: 1C5ZnRqNpwajD2FkE61gFt48XxcUr7aAzs

As above, the txs you showed earlier were attempting to spend those funds.

 I was not the sending party. I was to receive 0.037XXX.

I was not the sending party. I was to receive 0.037XXX.

Since the transactions cannot be confirmed anymore, you've essentially lost that amount. Double spends can be intentional or unintentional. Anyhow, your only hope of recovering it is to contact the sender and ask them to resend the coins.

And that sender is HEXTRA. We all know they have almost shut shop.

I didn't even know one could do a double spend intentionally.

Anyways, ill reach out to their pathetic customer support and hope they comply.

Thanks for your help @buwaytress and @ranochigo.
